September 27, 2009 at 6:26 am
you still need pandora
September 27, 2009 at 6:35 am
edit:what you need to do :if tou have hacked psp fat or slim with TA085v1 you just put his batery in your psp and use pan_installer to make it pandora after than install dc8 on a memory stick
if you don’t have the requaried psp thought you have to make the batery in hardware way
the other option is to buy pandora from the internet

Must check your MOBO out before doing this, and have a pandora battery at hand and mem stick..
Cool little app without the hassle! BUT if you are not clued up on flashing etc… get someone who does, or educate yourself…

Hey
I don’t know if i got this right. Do i still need a pandora baterry? I have a TA-088v2 and i installed the GEN B firmware using this tool but none of my games are working now.. What to do?
Thanks
September 28, 2009 at 5:05 am
Please help someone. Ihave a PSP slim TA-085, I am not sure if its V1 or V2. I installed this on a 5.00 M33, and in the system information everything looks great, but not cso, or iso are staring.
Please someone help me out. Thanks
September 28, 2009 at 8:31 am
COME ON NOW! WHEN do we have a fix for PSP3K ?!!??!
September 28, 2009 at 2:15 pm
No exploit for 3k’s that have firmware higher than 5.03 sorry.
September 28, 2009 at 10:31 am
If you are having trouble playing games (ISO or CSO) use the VSH menu (press select anywhere in psp menu) and change “UMD ISO MODE” to “M33 driver”.
September 28, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Do you need some kind of CFW already installed or it just installs from OFW using a Pandora battery? From what I understand this app should make a MMS that installs 5.50 GEN-B instead of 5.00M33 right?
September 28, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Thanks it works great. Thumbs up
September 28, 2009 at 3:57 pm
does any one know if i can downgrade my slim ta-088v3 with 5.50ofw to 5.03 ofw?
September 28, 2009 at 8:08 pm
PSP 3000 owners are always asking about any hack. if there is a hack that would be a huge news to the PSP world. as of now, it is still unhackable, if you like to play free games, buy a PSP 1000 or 2000.
September 28, 2009 at 9:00 pm
stop creating anything
JUST RELEASE THE CFW 6.00 GEN!
September 29, 2009 at 7:29 am

IT’s 100 % true , great news !! it will be released 2night !
September 29, 2009 at 8:44 am
Guys…I never really post on these forums. I always just kind of read around and see what’s going on. I just wanted to tell you there is a new strategy to solve the 3000 problem with loading newer firmware and may even work on the go. I am not really much of a homebrew developer, but me and my friends excel in working with c++, java, and linux programming. We have found a way to modify homebrew so the psp doesn’t reject it. Instead of trying to find a glitch in the firmware, we are just making it so the firmware sees the homebrew as “sony approved” and just runs. Hopefully from this we can run cfw enablers for higher firmware (if they are developed indeed and the bullshit fakes stop coming) to run on the psp 3000s. This is still in very early early development, but shoes promise of success. Video in 1 week once tested on psp.
September 30, 2009 at 1:25 pm
lol I’ll believe it when I see it.
October 2, 2009 at 6:25 am
hi to test the files that u guys have made or other people have made and gave it to you is it possible if i can try it on my PSP 3000 i am willing to let you know what is the outcome and whether it works for all the PSP. basically i dont mind getting the CFW files early to test it for you before u release it to the masses.
October 3, 2009 at 4:38 am
where is now the video.,
September 29, 2009 at 3:57 pm
